Stabilization of Vehicles on Sloped Ground Using Pickets
Brief Guidelines
If a potential exists for a vehicle to slide or otherwise move in a direction that the buttress system may not provide for, it may be necessary to tie the vehicle off in a manner that will prevent such movement. The vehicle may be secured to trees, guardrails, other vehicles or any stationary object capable of handling such a load. If such objects do not exist in the vicinity of the crash, stakes, or pickets, may be set in the ground as an anchor point. The photos below illustrate this technique. It may be necessary at times to apply more than one tie to the vehicle in various directions. Select an adequate stake and use appropriately.
